Enhancements and Upgrades for a Rare Ride: SUZUKI B-KING Custom

Webike's Opinion

Here is a "SUZUKI B-KING" custom by Webike community user "Suzuki". The B-King is considered rare because the manufacturer has discontinued its production. You won't come across many people riding the same model. However, you can still enjoy customizing it as there are plenty of custom parts available. The owner, who is a fan of touring, primarily focuses on control-related parts but also enjoys enhancing the bike's appearance. By replacing the Clutch Master Cylinder with the Brembo 16RCS Radial Clutch Master Cylinder, the clutch becomes lighter, and you only need two fingers to disengage it. Furthermore, the KOHKEN Mechanical Switch Kit for Brembo Radial Master Cylinder was installed. This kit is specifically designed for the Brembo RCS master, allowing for straightforward installation just by tightening the screws and adjusting the angle to ensure the switch responds to clutch operation. While the wiring may require adjustments depending on the specific motorcycle models, the B-King only needs black and red wires since the clutch is energized when engaged. Also he chose the CRAFTMAN Reservoir Tank because he disliked the lack of coherence in the tanks offered by other manufacturers. The Craftsman tank exhibits a sense of unity with the master cylinder and can be easily installed using just two rubber gaskets. This black anodized aluminum tank is a good choice if you are dissatisfied with your current one. The AGRAS Radiator Core Guard was installed to protect the radiator and oil cooler cores from gravel and debris. It is made of thin and lightweight stainless steel, and the etching process gives it a perfect finish. The stainless steel core guard shines with a dull luster, adding to its visual appeal. It is highly recommended to install the Radiator Core Guard as both the radiator and oil cooler cores can be damaged by gravel, leading to reduced cooling efficiency. The rims have been enhanced with MDF Tricolor Rim Stripes. Initially, he intended to make the rim stripes white to match the bike's white body, but he ultimately chose Tricolore rim stripes to complement the exhaust system. As for the tank pad, he was immediately drawn to the design of the MOTOGRAFIX tank pad and made the choice. These additions bring a distinctive touch to the bike, which is already rare due to its scarcity.
